Well the track season is over... but that just gives me time to get my transmission working right for next summer.

I think rattle-canning my Z black might count as murdering out... but not mordoring out.

We ended up doing the adjustment cold, it made much more sense given how slow we went doing it. Anyways, the engine sounds pretty good right now, but I'm thinking that I need a new clutch, and that some of the chatter I thought was coming from the valves... was coming from the clutch.

Whats the end difference between doing a hot valve adjustment or a cold one?

Hi everyone. This weekend we're planning on adjusting the valves on my 280zx (was chattering pretty bad). I've read this: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/1803105 as well as the FSM entry on the subject, and I just got back from getting the feeler gauges and remote start switch. So I *think* I'm ready to perform my first valve adjustment... Can y'all provide me with any last minute advice or hints? Thanks!

Black with gray racing stripes? lol.

I'm 24 and own a '79.5 Z. I've never been a car guy, always owned "sensible" cars and such. But recently I got convinced to get a sportscar for the chick magnet factor, also a new hobby, way to get involved with new people, etc. Its all peer pressure, haha.

@Empire: I don't recall if the can advertised UV protector, but it was the indoor/outdoor stuff @Hughes: I live in Grants Pass (for now) We'll probably end up re-doing it next summer as was the original plan, we just got overly ambitious on Saturday

Chris added my 280 to your registry this afternoon.

My objective was to paint my 280zx to look good at 20 feet, without spending much money. I didn't like the peeling brown paintjob she came with, so a temporary solution was called for. So some sanding rust spots, clearcoat, and 4 cans of Krylon Satin Black later... Before: After:
